There was a time when Murray talked about focusing more on the Grand Slam tournaments, but Lendl wants him to give his all everywhere. "It's the only way to see where your game's at and whether the things that you've done in practice are actually working," Murray said. "If you're not giving 110 per cent then you don't really learn a whole lot either. That's the thing that Novak did last year and Roger a few years ago and also Rafa a couple of years ago. They showed that it is possible to win [almost] every single event."

Lendl is apparently saying what I've said all along.. and that is IMHO Andy should bring his A-game to every match, no matter who he is playing against, or where the tournament is.

If he doesn't bring his A game or more realistically try and bring his A game to every tournament and instead stops and starts according to theimportance of the tournament. That means he isnt really pushing himself to a new level. I'm very pleased that he has lendl now as not going for itwas something he was doing a lot of before.

Even with Lendl we haven't really seen that one last push yet. It's the only step Andy hasn't taken so far.

Yes but it is obviously the biggest one.I remember seeing a grown man stagger before an escalator and was amused at how scared he was and then he just did it and everything went smoothly. He will have to develop a similar attitude on a grander scale. There is no alternative.And give Lendl a bit of time EJ its only been a couple of months.

yes, there is a day off in the beginning, but at the end it depends on whether the first half schedule is in their favour or the second regarding the semi finals. murray always has the disadvantage, I always wonder why?
